It's Transient

As a teen

life feels
outta control
time reels 'n
feels slow

summer's begun
couldn't wait
now, over sun
overweight

self esteem
all time low
heavy stream
painful flow

say nothing
metal teeth
hurts to eat
gums bleed

in class
cystic busts
kids laugh
feel the pus

wanna sit
inside for years
away from sight
turn off my ears

cults call to this
weird outsider
study hall for
suspended fighter

rumors about me
just aren't true
friend hugs 'r costly,
an acquired clue

walk tall
because i know
not a wall
only a show

decision owner
in the angst
feel unfamiliar 'n
out of place

one day
i'll be adult
make my way 
despite insults
